First my nomination for great sounding disc: Pat Metheny 80/81.
Sparkling clear guitar sounds, great sounding sax, everything perfect.

Never thought of it that way. Say, you wouldn't happen to agree with me
that "Ensenada" and his latest "My baby don't tolerate" sound really
bad? And maybe you know more about studio techniques and can tell me
why? It's like every instrument is pushing to be heard in the same
sliver of mid-rage spectrum.
